Were the results of the counter-reformation era largely positive or negative

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Protestant Reformation hit hard into the "nerves" of the Catholic Church. Martin Luther's ideas ad Protestant Reformations represented a severe questioning of the Catholic principles at the time. So the Catholic Church formed the Council of Trent in 1545 to maintain the power and influence this religion has exerted over Europe for so many years. The results of this counter-reformation varied. But it helped the Catholic Church priests and the pope, to be more open to critics and accepted some corrupt practice in the church. This acceptance sent the message to followers that the church had failed in some aspects and was willing to make the proper changes.
